THE OHIO DEMOCRATS.

The platform of the Ohio Democrats is
a very suspicious affair. 1t advocates a
"iudicious' reduction of the tariff, and
this single word is in its feeble ard at
tenuated saving clause. It is otherwise a
transparent, complete and unmitigated
free-trade declaration.
A Democratic Congress might consider
it 'Iiudicious' tariff legislation to repeal
the duty on wool and wooden fabrics 1t
would reduce therevenue by S27 900, 900.
1t would, at the same time, bankrupt
every sneep-farmer and wreck every
woolen-factofy in Ohio.
A Democratic Congress might consider
it 'judicious' triff legislation to abolish
the duty on iron and iron manufactures
This would reduce the revenue to the ex-
tent of $25,000,00G year. But it would
close the iron works at Cleveland, at
Massillon, at Cincinnati and at every
center of the iron industry in Ohio.
The Democrats in Congress might con-
slider it ''judicious" to repeal the other tariff
legislation of character vital to the in
dustrial interests of the country. The
platform places no limits on the proposed
reduction of the tariff, except that it shall
be modified 'judiciously'' as the Demo
cratic free-traders understand the term.
1t is extremely probable that the Ohio
Democrats, by their tariff plank, have
made the coming campaign IN that state
little more than walk-away for the Re
publican candidates, and a good deal of
cerned.- CHICAGO Journal.

MR.. CLEVELAND'S SUBSTITUTE.

Buffalo special to The World: To a
reporter to-day Brinski said that he was a
Polish sailor, is IS years of age, under
medium height, is unable to use his right
hand, and suffers from hacking cough,
accompanied by frequent hemorrhages.
Brinski said ''it was time for the old SOL
diers to know how Cleveland had treated
him." ard continued: II went to the war
for him so he would net be in danger of
getting hurt CIR killed, and what has he
done for me? He let me go around from
one poor home to another, and now here
[ am all broken down and dying in the
hospital, and he wont lift hand to help
me-and he, president of the United
States. I'm going to tell what he's done
if die for it."
Then Brinski talks on at much length,
mentioning that Mr. Cleveland paid him
$50. 81 knew that the bounty then was
$780," he said, "but told him that if be
would bel p me if came out alive I would
60 for him. This | agreed to. After |
was sworn in by Squire Ryan [ got the
$3.50. Then Mr.. Cleveland, Capt. Rine-
hart and | went to Fort Porter for me to
be mustered in. On the way Mr.. Cleve-
land asked US in to have glass of beer,
and when he paid for it he opened out his
pocketbook and said: George, do you
see how little you'v left me?'
Il saw him in Buffalo in 1885, the dsy
Hill was elected had lost my discharge
papers, and had been around a few DAYS
to get proof that | was the man who went
as Cleveland's substitute. There were
plenty of them who could identify me.
Fred Busch, keeper Of the poorhouse,
could do it for me, and there are the
records to showit. | had letter for Mr..
Cleveland about my case and | went to
his Office to give it to him. There was a
crowd standing around him in the front
Office. He saw me and recognized me.
He stepped up and took me by the hand
and said: Come, George and brought
me into the center. There be sad Here,
gentlemen, is the man who fought for me
during the war Then [ told him that
| Was all used up; that my health was
all gone and that didn't have nything.
ooh, pshaw, that isn't So he said, and
then he bent down to me and asked: Is
it so, George?' and [ commenced to cry
as | sat in the chair Then he asked me
what he could do for me, and I told him
that [ was poor and had no home and
was not able 10 work. Then he went in
to another room and I did not see any
more of him.
Then [ wrote to see if he wouldn't try
to get me pension. | put in my appli-
cation year ago, and Major Campbell,
of Bath, is trying TO get pension. Gen.
Black sent me blank of some kind to
fill out, and that's the way it stands.
My lungs were ruined in the service, and

THE UNHAPPY NE " YORK
DEMOCRATS.

The political situation In New York is
far from satisfactory to tie Democratsjus
now. The rebel flag episode and the
Presidents treatment of the St. Louis in
Vitation have stirred upa host of enemies
to him within his own party. Before
these events the feeling against him was
of latent or smoldering character, but
now it flames out in vigorous denuncia-
ton. It is safe to say that Mr.. Cleveland
was never SO unpopular with New York
Democrats as he is now.
Another source of Gisquietude to the
party in that State is the loss of votes
through the labor movement. The Demo
Gratis are pursuing the unwise policy OF
roundIy abusing the deserters from their
ranks and talking of the prospects of the
new party in a way to incense those who
have gone into it. As matter of course.
the Democrats who have become Labor
men resent this treatment and talk back
with a good deal of bitterness.
With the Democracy in this divided
and unhappy condition, the Republican,
will have a favorable opportunity to make
an effective and telling campaign during
the coming autumn, and it is their pur
pose to improve it for all 1t is WORTH

JUNEAU.

During the past week harvesting has,
with few exceptions, been nearly finished
a good share of the grain has already
been stacked, and threshing has already
commenced. AS far as can be learned
the result will be quite satisfactory to
farmers throughout this county, where
grain is very much better than on all
sides of US.
Horizon marsh presents this season a
very busy scene, large number of men
and teams being engaged in cutting and
stacking hay. A large camp has been
formed where the teams and men are be-
ing taken care OF. The amount of hay
cut has already been very large, but much
remains to be done still. The hay is be-
ing sold at from IS to SLIPPER ton in
Chicago and Milwaukee, and is yet to be
pressed.
A game of base ball between the Wau-
pun and Juneau clubs will be played on
the grounds here next Saturday afternoon.
Efforts are also being made for a game of
ball between the Watertown and Juneau
clubs for purse of 500 to the winning
club.

ment Wisconsin state militia, will be

Uses to be a great success, many noted
stock breeders, as well from this county as
from other parts of the state, having prom

is expected that the races will form one
of the most attractive features of the fair,
the sum of $500 having been appropriate
ed for purses.
Owing to defect in the title, the com
pany engaged in getting water-works in
Beaver Dam has been obliged to abandon
the spring where it was first intended to
draw the supply of water from, and is now
testing a spring little south of the Vita
Park spring; it is feared, however, that
getting the supply from that location may
materially lower the water in the lattei
spring and make it useless. W.

PRESIDENTIAL TALK.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The Boston
Herald the chief supporter of Cleveland
among New England Mugwumps, in the
course of a long editorial on the recent
canvass for presidential preferences, has
the following:
'The large vote for Mr.. Lincoln has its
chief significance as illustrating the feel
ing in the people, 1t is as distinctly
spontaneous as possible. No schemers
started it: no "boomers" aided in its in
crease. 1t is clear indication that if
the party are in search of an available
candidate there lisa widespread impression
that in Mr.. Lincoln is the man. With
the exception of Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. John
Sherman he is the only man for whom
any considerable number of the men have
voted. Allison, Edmunds, Harrison, Haw-
lev, Evarts, Depew, who have all been
talked about, are so far behind him as to
be out of sight. Whether this feeling
comes from instinct or judgment, it is
there. The sympsthies-the approval of
these men-indeed, might have taken
much worse direction. We are not dis
posed to accept Mr.. Robert I. Lincoln as
a great man or as one fitted to be Presi-
dent beyond many others because he is
the son of his father, but the quiet dignity
he exhibited in Office and the evidence of
unobtrusive ambition he has shown out
of it afford an agreeable indication that
he would make a sensible and patriotic
President. We doubt, however, if the
politicians who expect to control the next
Republican nomination will look upon
Mr.. Lincoln as likely to be a President
who will answer their nnrnnse"
